Ahead of the release of their new album Up On Gravity Hill this Friday, METZ have shared a new single called ‘Superior Mirage’. Following previous cuts ’99’, ‘Entwined (Street Light Buzz)’, and ‘Light Your Way Home’ the track comes alongside a music video directed by John Andrews. Check it out below.
“It’s definitely new territory for us, and I really love the sounds we were able to achieve,” frontman Alex Edkins explained in a statement. “We blended a Linn Drum with some homemade samples and made this ad-hoc junkyard drum sound that propels the song along. We really tried to make the backbeat the defining trait of the song. The lift on the chorus is pretty huge, too. We wanted the wall of guitars to knock you sideways.”
